Solution

The correct option is C Glyoxysomes
In plants, the glyoxylate cycle occurs in specialized cells called glyoxysomes. During germination, the seeds used lipids as the energy source to form the shoot. Acetyl CoA proceeds through glyoxylate cycle and released succinate as the end product. This cycle occurs only in glyoxysomes, which are lying in the fat storage tissues of germinating seeds.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.
